Every person needs a constant in their lives, something that never changes. Humans are given to change, but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
"My son, reverently fear the Lord and the king, and do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary]; for their calamity shall rise suddenly, and who knows the punishment and ruin which both [the Lord and the king] will bring upon the rebellious?" Proverbs 24:21-22, Amplified
Every time we make the decision to sin, we become those revolutionaries against the Lord. Our allegiance has momentarily changed from the Spirit to the flesh. It is so important for us to have the constant of Jesus on our lives to be that anchor. I am reminded of the scene in "The Patriot" when the militia is going against the English and they are overcome and they begin to retreat. Benjamin Martin sees this and he rides to cut off the retreaters, waving the American flag. This is what they need to gather the strength to overcome their fears. Jesus Christ is that very same banner. He is our strength. He is our freedom. He is our constant.
